"Sister...?"

Zhi Yuo could not believe what he saw in front of his own eyes. He even shook his head many times, hoping it was just his imagination. But no, his older brother still stood not far from him. Not moving from its place, like a statue standing firmly. His back was firm as usual, vividly depicting his figure when he was alive.

Zhi Yuo wanted to take a few steps back, but he could not do that. His body was glued there, looking at the older brother with a surprised look.

While he was feeling on the verge of confusion, the younger brother smiled faintly at him, slowly stepping full of authority towards him. When he reached Zhi Yuo, he patted his younger brother slowly on the shoulder.

With a smiley face he greeted, "Zhang Yuan, how have you been?".

Zhi Yuo was silent on the spot, not answering a word. Her eyes had not even blinked since her brother had come before her. He also realized that his body was back to how it was. This was Zhang Yuan's body, not Zhi Yuo's.

Zhi Yuo seemed to be back when he was successful first. His body was tall, even more than his own brother. With a broad and firm back he stood there, as if he had returned to his old life. The sect clothes attached to his body looked clean and tidy.

The older brother felt there was no answer from his sister quickly added a wide smile. He chuckled, "Don't be surprised, I'm just asking you."

"I. I'm fine, "Zhi Yuo finally replied even though he was a little stammered.

He avoids the view of his older brother, whether what he is hiding he does not know. But clearly, the look full of regret and sadness was clearly visible in his eyes, unable to be hidden.

The gentle smile of the elder brother suddenly disappeared. He knew clearly that his sister still had feelings of guilt for him and others during the war against the underworld. Even though it has been passed, but still the regret can not be removed just like that.

The elder brother raised his hand, stroking Zhi Yuo's jet-black mane with gentleness.

With an expanding smile he said, "Don't regret anything that has happened, focus on your present goal. We'll keep supporting you."

Zhi Yuo who had taken his eyes off her brother's eyes directly looked back at her. The feeling of tightness spread to his chest and then his throat. The sadness is increasing when you see the smile of a sister, implied a huge affection from there. Zhi Yuo, even though he was feeling such a painful sadness right now, it was impossible to cry.

A real man does not cry easily, and someone who always swings his sword in the vanguard will always be excited to the end.

He was still Zhang Yuan, who had to remain steadfast at any moment.

Zhi Yuo smiled widely to dispel his sadness. He enjoyed every gentle elussan warm hands of the elder brother in his head. This is common, even this is something that older siblings often do to him as a warm affection.

And Zhi Yuo longed for every affection given to her. Either from his sister or his friends.

"Zhang Yuan, do you remember what sword I gave you after you passed the cultivation test?".

Zhi Yuo was silent, digesting her brother's every question.

" Uh.. Yea? you mean my moon sword?".

The elder brother nodded, "You certainly remember it clearly because it was your last weapon against the demon lord."

Then he smiled, "And the sword with the first spiritual power you have, I gave it to you."

"And remember that I wrote your name on the sword, I wrote it with my incantation to keep it immortal. The sword contained an incredible spiritual power that even when its owner was dead, he would call him back to the world." Further.

Zhi Yuo was silent, his mouth opened slightly. He was pensive, trying to digest every sentence said by his brother-in-law.

The elder brother continued, "Every feeling within you will flow on that sword. As long as you have the intention even when you are on the verge of death, you will be reborn because the sword is waiting for you to carry out the intentions and promises that you must keep."

The elder brother looked at Zhi Yuo's eyes sharply, "Do you have any promises or intentions that you said before dying?."

"My intention is to finish him off!" Zhi Yuo felt a difficult feeling to interpret when he said those words. His blood flow was increasingly rushing, his heart was beating rapidly, anger was stirring from within him.

When he remembers that although he will die, his spirit will fight to the end.

Was that his intention? The intent that was channeled into his own sword?.

The older brother-in-law who heard that smiled, "Then execute your intentions."

He distanced himself to Zhi Yuo, then pushed him with a single push.

"Hopefully we can regroup, Zhang Yuan."

"YOU HAVEN'T EVEN WOKE UP?! YOU SLACKERS! HAVE NO GRATITUDE YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A PLACE TO STAY?!!"

Zhi Yuo opened his eyes slowly, his body was no longer on the branch of the window, he had fallen onto the cold wooden floor. Zhi Yuo rubbed his eyes, finding himself not alone now. Sunlight crept through the window, shining on his face that still looked shabby.

"S-senior Lin, please. don't get mad at big brother Yuo..." Xie Jia's voice was not far from him.

"SILENCE!" Lin Mei snapped, making Xie Jia's guts wail away instantly.

Suddenly Yan Yan arrived in a hurry. He tried to calm down Lin Mei who was now at the peak of her anger. Lin Mei paid no heed to any words and pleas from Xie Jia and Yan. He chose to approach Zhi Yuo and grabbed her hair.

Zhi Yuo who was still sprawled with sleepy eyes felt a burning sensation in his hair. Lin Mei pulled her hair, bringing it closer to her face.

With fluttering teeth he growled, "You're really brash! If you want to sleep a long time, just die there!".

" Senior Lin! Don't do that! Please!" Xie Jia started crying, she hugged Lin Mei's leg and continued to beg, "It's better to just slap me! Don't hurt Brother Yuo!".

Yan Yan who was behind them all joined in pleading, "Please let go of that boy Senior Lin, he is still too new here. Maybe we can guide him well..".

Instead of listening to their plea and releasing his trap from Zhi Yuo, he even more excited about slapping Zhi Yuo. But not yet had his hand hit the cheek of Zhi Yuo, a dead mouse fell on his hair.

Lin Mei screamed hysterically, she released Zhi Yuo just then and there. He ran to the back, throwing the rat carcass away in disgust. Her hair now smelled a little foul. How disgusted he was when he saw the rat carcass was thrown not far from there, and appeared hordes of other rats eating his dead friend.

The room became silent for a moment as Zhi Yuo suddenly rose. With his head lowered he caught a live mouse passing by in front of him.

"Ah..Fortunately I prepared this since night, there are a lot of rats here."

Everyone fell silent, including Lin Mei who was still trembling especially looking at Zhi Yuo's behavior. Zhi Yuo stood far away there, with his gaze lowered but clearly staring intently at him, he thrust the living rat at Lin Mei.

He said in a cold tone, "I do care about women, thinking they are worth protecting. But only this time I met a woman like you."

"Totally, it feels like I just want to cut it all down."
